The Dhaka-Aricha Highway was blocked for four hours after a Dhaka North City Corporation staff assaulted a readymade garments worker following an altercation this morning.
Owing to the blockade, a 10-kilometre tailback formed on both sides of the highway.
The RMG worker of Bando Apparels is being treated at Shaheed Suhrwardy Medical Hospital, reports our Savar correspondent quoting Abdul Awal, officer-in-charge of Savar Model Police Station.
“A female worker of Bando Apparels was assaulted by a city corporation worker in the morning,” said Milton Kazi, manager (compliance) of Bando Apparels Ltd.
The incident occurred when a vehicle carrying the factory workers and a city corporation vehicle slightly hit each other in Gabtoli area leading to an altercation.
At one point, a city corporation worker hit the RMG worker and this lead the RMG workers to block the Dhaka-Aricha highway from 8:30am.
Police officials managed to free the highway around four hours later, said Abdul Awal.
